José lives in a house belonging to an uncle with his own family. He’s been working on his own for five years growing corn. He learned from his parents and has experience in doing this activity on his own.
He’s asking for a loan to buy corn and bean seeds to plant also. He will buy manure and herbicide that he will apply to strengthen his plants and prevent infestations. With this loan he will have the economic resources to invest in the production of basic grains.
José’s objective is to work to support his home and to have the adequate conditions to continue producing basic grains.
